This weeks Top Movies on the Telly

Cool Hand Luke - (TCM Monday 30th April 21:00)
A film that has aged remarkably well, this Stuart Rosenberg directed film features incredible performances from Paul Newman (Oscar nominated) and George Kennedy (Oscar winner) in this engaging drama that lets it's exceptional script and talented cast do the heavy lifting. A classic!

Knocked Up - (ITV 2 Tuesday 1st May 21:00)
Written and directed by Judd Apatow is that rare beast in Hollywood in modern times - a comedy that's actually funny. A razor sharp script and some wonderful performances from Seth Rogen, Katerine Heigl,Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd combine to make this one of the better comedic efforts of the last few years. Highly enjoyable!

Hot Fuzz - (ITV 2 Wednesday 2nd May 21:00)
Second film in Edgar Wright's Cornetto Trilogy this action parody comedy may not be quite as brilliant as Shaun of the Dead but there is more than enough to keep fans of the genre entertained and the always reliable partnership of Pegg and Frost is joined here by some top notch performances from the likes of Jim Broadbent and a remarkable Timothy Dalton.
